Chapter 27: You killed my brother
The battlefield twisted into a storm of destruction—wind shrieking, fire roaring, stone breaking apart.
And at the center stood Kael.
He moved like a living flame, untamed and wild. Every step scorched the ground, each breath feeding the inferno that wrapped around him. Embers scattered into the sky, tiny burning stars swept up in the chaos.
Then—
BOOM!
Kael's foot slammed into the dirt.
"Enough!"
His voice cracked through the battlefield like a hammer. The ground trembled under the weight of his fury.
A surge of fire burst from him, rolling out in a wave of heat and destruction. The earth split and blackened where the flames touched, the heat bending the air itself. The roar swallowed everything—the clash of stone, the howl of wind—until only fire remained.
Jamie and Reed barely managed to throw up their arms before the blast struck. The force ripped them off their feet, tossing them back like leaves in a storm.
Wind screamed. Fire howled.
